Intel Core i5-9500 vs Intel Core i5-9400F

Core i5-9500 vs Core i5-9400F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9500 beats the Core i5-9400F in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400F in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9400F. Also, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
